In a tragic incident in Jalna, Maharashtra, two people lost their lives when a container truck fell off a flyover and crashed into a roadside dhaba. The accident happened on November 1, 2026, as the truck was traveling from Ambad Chaufuli towards Nutan Vasahat, breaking through the flyover's railing before landing on Ekta Dhaba below.
According to Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Anant Kulkarni, police were alerted promptly and initiated a rescue operation.
